Yes, it has heater cores similar to a car. The right engine provides heat for your feet and the left engine is for the windshield defrost.

Ron is correct. The DA62 uses a heat exchanger like a car which is far safer than exhaust heat and thus CO is not an issue.

He deleted the original post with the screenshot of the G1000 OAT display (and a 54 knot headwind, :shock: ) so the link broke, but this one works:
